A system for synchronizing agricultural data uses a synchronization device adapted to receive information from a storage medium associated with a monitor for an agricultural implement. The synchronization device has wireless communication with a mobile device to share the information from the monitor with the mobile device. The mobile device will compress and store the data until the mobile device has communication coverage. Once the mobile device has communication coverage, it will automatically communicate the compressed data to a remote server, such as a cloud server. The server will process the data. The processed data may be communicated back to the monitor via the mobile device and the synchronization device. The processed data may also be accessed on the server by a remote computer.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A system for processing and displaying agricultural data, the system comprising: a monitor, the monitor adapted to receive implement data front an agricultural implement and adapted to store the implement data on a monitor storage medium, the monitor further including a display screen; a synchronization device, the synchronization device including equipment to receive the implement data from the monitor storage medium, the synchronization device further including a synchronization device short-range communicator; a mobile device, the mobile device including a mobile device short-range communicator and long range communication equipment, the mobile device short-range communicator being in communication to receive the implement data from the synchronization device short-range communicator, the mobile device further comprising a processor programmed with an application that causes the mobile device to display instruction screens instructing a user how to synchronize data from the monitor to the server using the synchronization device and includes a plurality of sets of instruction screens corresponding to a plurality of different types of monitors, wherein the processor of the mobile device is adapted to select a set of instructions screens corresponding to the monitor from the plurality of sets of instruction screens bused on a scanned code; and a server adapted to receive information transmitted by the mobile device long range communication equipment, the server further adapted to manipulate the implement data into processed agricultural data.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application causes the mobile device to control the synchronization device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is adapted to retrieve the processed agricultural data from the server.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the mobile device is adapted to transmit the processed agricultural data to the synchronization device.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor of the mobile device is adapted to compress the implement data to a compressed format.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the application causes the mobile device to send the implement data in a compressed format to the server.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the application causes the mobile device to send the compressed format implement data to the server automatically when the mobile device has cellular communication coverage.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the application causes the mobile device to store the compressed format implement data until the mobile device has cellular communication coverage.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the scanned code is a QR code.
